• 19 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank all the Members who sought clarifications. In fact, there is no Member who did not seek a clarification.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of the actions by these governors, like declining to accept medical equipment which affects the life and ... view
